Would it be possible to make my own things to give off a noise to alert nearby npcs? For example,

 

In one of my maps, I'd put a bunch of wine bottles around the ground, and when you step on them, you knock them over, maybe break a few, and this makes a loud noise and the npc will come hither to inspect.

Basically, if you manage to make the bottles emit a sound when they are broken (I'm not sure this is implemented yet), the sound propagation system will take care of the rest.

 

Each sound shader can even have separate "virtual" sound prop settings, where you can set the volume as heard by the AI, so you can set that particular sound to be extra suspicious (for the AI only, the actual player-hearable sound stays the same).

 

So, do the bottles already emit a sound when you knock them over and break them?

in TD release, the wine bottle wouldn't break. They only break when hit with an arrow.

 

In the current code, they break from too much force, but I don't think they make a sound (yet).

 

Edit: Do we have a sound-fx for "breaking glass bottle" yet?

If you are serious about mapping with TDM, you could also apply for betamapper status. This way you could work with the full resources, and get to play with always the latest code.

 

(Although this can be an advantage, it can also be a disadvantage - the current code changes rather often and so sometimes things break :)

Yes, it's called material_glass_destroyed.

 

Ah, thanx, I'll check it out once I get better.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
